Township was the first game launched by Playrix in 2013. Regatta was added later, becoming central to play, and a source of complaint among players who just wanted a farm game. By the time I joined in 2018, regatta and co-ops were accepted parts of the game.
Playrix added and deleted various side games and competitions over the years. I played side games for rewards, especially decos. Over time, the decorations department rotated the same six sets of old deco items in regatta, produced oversized monstrosities that did not fit in our town; offered profile pictures and town signs as the only rewards or helicopters and pads for gold pass.
Points to move through adventures increase with time, without playing Match 3. When we had daily tasks, I would not open blue urns, chests or the “diamond” until I had a task calling for earning or spending points. Now I go through Adventure Time tasks, like Geisha’s set or sushi rolls to earn points and Match 3 tools for future use if we get anything I want to complete Match 3 for. Change in strategy; still, something to do.
